Continued baby steps

[Deleted]

I'm glad your mom was able to say "abuse" out loud to you. Sometimes, just hearing the problem identified out loud helps to make it more real. Glad you have your mom in your circle now. Big big hugs.

I'm so, so glad you told your mom. You have so many people in your corner <3

[hopecounts]

I am so glad you told your Mom and she named what is happening to you.
You are doing great, step by step you are moving forward just keep at it!

Thanks, all, for the encouragement

That's so great that you opened up to your mother and she recognizes the severity of his behavior. 

Remember there is no right timeline for anything.  You are doing wonderfully.

It's hard to hear, but I'm happy your mom was blunt with you because sometimes you have to hear someone you really love say it out loud. I'm so, so proud of you for confiding in her because I know how hard that part is.

You've got this and we've all got your back. You are making huge steps towards your happiness and freedom. <3

Baby steps are amazing! You are doing what you can. Keep going. You can do this.

[mrsukyankee]

That's absolutely fabulous. You are doing fabulously!

[noradog]

Just another person saying that this baby step was much bigger than a baby step. Also, I obviously don't know context, but it sounds to me like you are doing a good job of creating a safe space for l to share her thoughts and feelings without being afraid of being shut down. That's huge too. Congratulations on that as well

[franklin]

You're doing awesome! Big hugs to you.

[newnamesameperson]

I am so sorry he's put you in this situation.

Consider therapy because once someone has been emotionally abusive it can be very hard to get the negative thoughts he's deliberately pushed on you about yourself. You deserve so much better. Hugs.

PS:  You are rocking this, one step at a time.

That's not a baby step!! That's a HUGE leap! You are awesome Profartnerd!!

[olegregg]

I'm so glad you confided in your mom. You're making big strides ❤

[happyholiday]

I'm so glad you told your mom! I hope you felt some relief doing that. Big hugs.

I'm proud of you

I am so happy you told your mom and she is giving you the support you need. You are so, so strong.



Offering local support/help if you ever need it.

[dexteroni]

That's a great step and I'm glad your mom got it and was supportive. You're on your way, and that's the important part. You've got this, and you'll get there. ((((hugs))))

[lilibet]

That's a huge step, I'm so glad you told her.

[nsl]

This is a wonderful step, and your mom's response was, I suspect, exactly what you needed to hear. Keep pushing, ProfArt--you've got an even bigger team in your corner now.

[Bernadine]

You're getting there girlfriend, and I'm so happy your mom is supportive.

[callie7]

You are doing so well, you should be really proud of yourself, this isn't easy but I know you can and will do it.

[yourmother]

I see this as a HUGE step! You are so very much on the right track. Sending big hugs and support!

[malibu]

I have absolute, total, and complete faith and confidence in you. <3

[chchchia]

Like I told super, I'm in the area, same boat and I can make recommendations. You need anything, let me know.

[speckledfrog]

Keep on going lady, you are on your way!

[10nille]

This is such a big turn in your life. Finally, your Mom knows and she verbalizes what you have known for a long time!

Lucy wanting to record him on the GoPro is kind of a good idea. Unless it puts any of you at risk.

[runforrest]

This is great news. Keep it up, and stay safe, please.

[Mrs. Meerkat]

I'm gonna parrot everyone else (because all I have to say has been covered) and say WAY TO GO!!!

Definitely giant steps to actually talk to your mom about it!

And I know that you really want to stay and make sure he knows all the shit he has done by kicking HIM out, but it may make just as big of a statement for him to come home to an empty house while you, L & D are in a safe and loving place.

Keep pushing forward however you need to! We've got'chu!

ETA: for grammar because my phone hates the , button.

I've missed a lot. :-(

I'm glad you have someone on your side, it sucks to feel like no one gets it when you are stuck in a situation like this. I wish you continued strength and I hope you are able to find happiness soon. If I can do anything for you, please let me know.
